Gardner, master of the Maine state grange, says that at the close of 1902 there were 318 subordinate grang es in Maine, of which 178 own their halls, while nineteen more were build ing halls. The value of the 178 halls with their furnishings is put at $373,- 330, an average of more than $2,000 apiece; the value of the real estate owned by subordinate granges is $79,- 000, making a total value of $452,330 for subordinate grange property in Maine. The membership is 35,000, averaging 150 to each grange. Three Maine granges have more than GOO members each, while several have more than 500. The grange teaches kindness to ani mals. The grange at Montville, Vt., practices it. That grange has built a commodious stable In connection with its hall improvements which accom modates thirty-two horses. What the grange has been and has done are worthy of study and praise. But the past is only an earnest of a much worthier future. Our best his tory is yet to be made. American Grange Bulletin. The Future of Agriculture. As I view the future of agriculture In America the organization of farmers is a necessity for their success. Study, Investigation, the taking, reading, writ ing for the agricultural press become a matter of necessity and duty which we cannot Ignore or escape if the American farmer hopes to hold his relative position in the industrial in terests of our matchless country.— Aaron Jones, Master National Grange. Under Grange Auaploei. The Connecticut Dairymen's associa tion, by invitation of Lyme grange, held an institute at Hamburg with large attendance.

Powell, the well known ag ricultural writer, has this to say of the grange In the Tribune Farmer: "I am not a member of a grange, but I believe In them with all my heart. They are doing an Immense amount of work, and it is of a very wholesome sort. The social influence Is as good as the edu cative. It has the advantage of bring ing together husbands and wives, as all clubs should. The grange work, so far as I have watched It, has been in variably for sound legislation, for hon est elections, for progressive farm work, for improved institutes and for the general social welfare of farm CONDENSED REPORT ot the comlltlon of the FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Dushore, Pa.
